I'm so glad to have made it this far. Woke up Tuesday after the surgery in extreme pain. The doctor put in 30% of the saline solution, so in addition to the incisions and placing the expanders, the actual stretching of 30% from nothing has been painful.
Today, this moment, is the best I've felt so far. And yes, I am on pain meds every 4hours. I'm not trying to brave it this go around.
The timeline has changed a little again. I will get more solution pit in next Tuesday and the following Tuesday. Then surgery to place the final implants will occur the week of the 15th of July. The plastic surgeon wants to get the implants in before we start radiation to ensure the skin is flexible. I'm on board with this. Just want this past top be behind us.
Anyway... I'm feeling better each day, and I'm so grateful for pain meds!
